Woman conned of $930k by ‘widower’ says scam nearly destroyed relationship with daughterA woman who was conned out of more than $930,000 by a man posing as a widower says the scam nearly destroyed her relationship with her daughter. Her elder sister also lent Kong money that had been saved for her child’s wedding banquet, she added. “My daughter’s university fees alone came up to a six-figure sum every year,” she told Shin Min, adding that their relationship became strained. “He described his wife’s treatment and even her funeral in detail,” she told Shin Min. The woman also told Shin Min she spent more than $7,000 on legal fees trying to recover her losses, but ultimately received only $2,000.
